1957 Map of Valencia

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The White Tank Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this region, where the steep terrain contains ancient petroglyphs and modern military infrastructure like the Buckeye National Guard Target Range. In the southern half, the Buckeye Valley transitions into a highly organized agricultural corridor defined by the Roosevelt Canal, Southern Canal, and Buckeye Canal. This intricate irrigation network, drawing from the nearby Salt River, fueled the growth of settlements like Valencia. The map documents a moment of expansion, with updated highway alignments such as Interchange 112 and Interchange 114 appearing alongside established landmarks like Buckeye Union High School and the Louis B Hazelton Memorial Cemetery. The presence of the White Tanks Proving Grounds and a Landing Field (Closed) further illustrates the dual-use nature of this desert landscape during the mid-to-late 20th century.
